Electrical engineering and information technology - Studies in Kiel
Description of the study
The bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at Kiel University (CAU) offers comprehensive engineering training covering both theoretical fundamentals and practical applications.
In the first semesters, students acquire a sound knowledge of mathematics, physics, and computer science, which serves as the basis for advanced modules. Building on this, central topics in electrical engineering and information technology are covered, including electrical networks, signal processing, power electronics, microcontrollers, and control engineering. Starting in the sixth semester, students have the opportunity to set individual priorities by choosing from a wide range of advanced modules. These enable specialization in areas such as energy technology, communications engineering, or embedded systems.
A mandatory industrial internship offers the opportunity to gain practical experience in companies and apply the knowledge acquired during the course of study. The bachelor's thesis, which is usually written in the seventh semester, rounds off the course of study and offers the opportunity to work on a specific topic in depth. Graduates of the program are qualified for a wide range of professional fields, including energy supply, automation technology, telecommunications, and research and development. The degree also provides access to advanced master's programs in the US and abroad.
